Flirty Skirts Over 50? Absolutely!

The fashion pundits predicted women would be wearing longer dresses and skirts this season. I’ve kept my eyes peeled, but haven’t seen any more long hemlines this season than other season. Still, I love the longer hemlines. I especially love the flow of the longer skirt in layers of sheer or light-weight summer cottons like the Free People Morning Glory Maxi Skirt ($128) above. The fashion editors call such skirts "flirty." Can over 50 women pull off "flirty skirts"? I think so. Longer skirts like the one above are simply romantic and my over 50 girlfriends and I still have plenty of romance left in us. Don't you?

Below are some of my favorite "flirty skirt" styles. While long summer dresses have the advantage of creating a continuous long line (very slimming), you can achieve the same slimming silhouette by pairing a longer skirt with a top that matches the skirt’s dominant color. Here's a few skirts from Jones New York.
